Smart, Cunning, Resourceful - Marie- Madeleine Lachenais dominated the political scene in the early 1800’s

She was the daughter of a white French Colonel and a black socialite mother.

She was affectionately known as “Joute”, and was the mistress of President Alexandre Pétion from 1807 to 1818 and helped place Petion’s successor - Jean-Pierre Boiyey - to become the next president from 1818 to 1843, and became his mistress.

Due to her impact, she was nicknamed "The President of Two Presidents." She co-ruled Haiti for 37 years, perhaps the longest time span of any woman and the first to open orphanages in the country.

She was smart, cunning, beautiful, and resourceful.

Joute honed her strategic skills to achieve political goals and is known for her ability to influence presidents and various members of parliament.
